Non - acting acting for the performer
acting, doing nothing, or using tricks

This workshop explores what it is to sound, look, and be real on stage. We will investigate different ways to use the voice and how to manipulate multiple meanings out of text using volume, tone, and rhythm as tools. We will work with and without microphones, use lists, film texts, novels, and improvisations to generate and inspire our own material. You could consider it acting, doing nothing, or using tricks nevertheless this week we will explore how to consciously reveal the person behind the performer.
